WARNING

■

Important points while driving

Observe the following precautions while

driving.

Failure to do so may result in loss of con-

trol of the vehicle and cause an accident,

resulting in death or serious injury.

●

Do not adjust the mirrors while driving.

●

Do not drive with the mirrors folded.

●

Both the driver and passenger side

mirrors must be extended and prop-

erly adjusted before driving.

Auto anti-glare function

When the anti-glare inside rear view mirror

is set to automatic mode, the outside rear

view mirrors will activate in conjunction with

the anti-glare inside rear view mirror to

reduce reflected light. (



P.171, 174)

■

Automatic adjustment of the mirror

angle

A desired mirror face angle can be entered

to memory and recalled automatically by

the driving position memory. (



P.161)

■

Linked mirror function when reversing

When either “L” or “R” of the mirror select

switch is selected, the outside rear view mir-

rors will automatically angle downwards

when the vehicle is reversing in order to

give a better view of the ground.
To disable this function, select neither “L”

nor “R”.
To set the mirror angle used when the vehi-

cle is reversing, adjust the mirror angle at a

desired position with the shift position in R.
The adjusted angle will be memorized and

the mirror will automatically tilt to the mem-

orized angle whenever the shift position is

shifted to R from next time.
The memorized downward tilt position of

the mirror is linked to the normal position

(angle adjusted with the shift position in

other than R). Therefore, if the normal posi-

tion is changed after adjustment, the tilt

position will also change.
When the normal position is changed, read-

just the angle in reversing.

■

Using the switch

Press the switch to fold the mirrors.

Press it again to extend them to the original
position.

■

Setting automatic mode

Automatic mode allows the folding or
extending of the mirrors to be linked to
locking/unlocking of the doors.
Press the “AUTO” switch to set auto-
matic mode.

will come on.

Pressing the switch once more will return

■

Driving in the rain

●

Drive carefully when it is raining, because

visibility will be reduced, the windows

may become fogged-up, and the road

will be slippery.

●

Drive carefully when it starts to rain,

because the road surface will be espe-

cially slippery.

●

Refrain from high speeds when driving on

an expressway in the rain, because there

may be a layer of water between the tires

and the road surface, preventing the

steering and brakes from operating prop-

erly.

Breaking in your new Lexus

To extend the life of the vehicle, observing

the following precautions is recommended:

●

For the first 300 km (186 miles):

Avoid sudden stops.

●

For the first 1000 km (621 miles):

• Do not drive at extremely high speeds.

• Avoid sudden acceleration.

• Do not drive continuously in low gears.

• Do not drive at a constant speed for

extended periods.

■

Drum-in-disc type parking brake system

Your vehicle has a drum-in-disc type park-

ing brake system. This type of brake system

needs bedding-down of the brake shoes

periodically or whenever the parking brake

shoes and/or drum are replaced. Have any

authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus author-

ized repairer, or any reliable repairer per-

form the bedding down operation.

■

Operating your vehicle in a foreign

country

Comply with the relevant vehicle registra-

tion laws and confirm the availability of the

correct fuel. (



P.530)

WARNING

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in death or

serious injury.

■

When starting the vehicle

Always keep your foot on the brake

pedal while stopped with the “READY”

indicator is illuminated. This prevents the

vehicle from creeping.

■

When driving the vehicle

●

Do not drive if you are unfamiliar with

the location of the brake and accelera-

tor pedals to avoid depressing the

wrong pedal.

• Accidentally depressing the accelera-

tor pedal instead of the brake pedal

will result in sudden acceleration that

may lead to an accident.

• When backing up, you may twist your

body around, leading to a difficulty in

operating the pedals. Make sure to

operate the pedals properly.

• Make sure to keep a correct driving

posture even when moving the vehicle

only slightly. This allows you to depress

the brake and accelerator pedals

properly.

• Depress the brake pedal using your

right foot. Depressing the brake pedal

using your left foot may delay

response in an emergency, resulting in

an accident.

●

The driver should pay extra attention

to pedestrians when the vehicle is

powered only by the electric motor

(traction motor). As there is no engine

noise, the pedestrians may misjudge

the vehicle’s movement. Even with the

Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System acti-

vate, drive with care as pedestrians in

the vicinity may still not notice the vehi-

cle if the surrounding area is noisy.

193

4-1. Before driving

Driving

WARNING

●

Do not drive the vehicle over or stop

the vehicle near flammable materials.

The exhaust system and exhaust gases

can be extremely hot. These hot parts

may cause a fire if there is any flamma-

ble material nearby.

●

During normal driving, do not turn off

the hybrid system. Turning the hybrid

system off while driving will not cause

loss of steering or braking control,

however, power assist to the steering

will be lost. This will make it more diffi-

cult to steer smoothly, so you should

pull over and stop the vehicle as soon

as it is safe to do so.

In the event of an emergency, such as if

it becomes impossible to stop the vehi-

cle in the normal way:



P.486

●

Use engine braking (downshift) to

maintain a safe speed when driving

down a steep hill.

Using the brakes continuously may

cause the brakes to overheat and lose

effectiveness. (



P.205)

●

Do not adjust the positions of the

steering wheel, the seat, or the inside

or outside rear view mirrors while driv-

ing.

Doing so may result in a loss of vehicle

control.

●

Always check that all passengers’

arms, heads or other parts of their

body are not outside the vehicle.

■

When driving on slippery road sur-

faces

●

Sudden braking, acceleration and

steering may cause tire slippage and

reduce your ability to control the vehi-

cle.

●

Sudden acceleration, engine braking

due to shifting, or changes in engine

speed could cause the vehicle to skid.

●

After driving through a puddle, lightly

depress the brake pedal to make sure

that the brakes are functioning prop-

erly. Wet brake pads may prevent the

brakes from functioning properly. If the

brakes on only one side are wet and

not functioning properly, steering con-

trol may be affected.

■

When shifting the shift position

●

Do not let the vehicle roll backward

while a forward driving position is

selected, or roll forward while the shift

position is in R.

Doing so may result in an accident or

damage to the vehicle.

●

Do not shift the shift position to P while

the vehicle is moving.

Doing so can damage the transmission

and may result in a loss of vehicle con-

trol.

●

Do not shift the shift position to R while

the vehicle is moving forward.

Doing so can damage the transmission

and may result in a loss of vehicle con-

trol.

●

Do not shift the shift position to a driv-

ing position while the vehicle is moving

backward.

Doing so can damage the transmission

and may result in a loss of vehicle con-

trol.

●

Changing the shift position to N while

the vehicle is moving will disengage

the hybrid system. Regenerative brak-

ing is not available with the hybrid sys-

tem disengaged.
